Houthis say they targeted Saudi pipeline and Yanbu

Yemen's Houthis said Thursday they targeted Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline and an oil facility in the Red Sea port city of Yanbu.

Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said on X that one operation “targeted Pumping Station No. 7 on the East-West Pipeline using a drone” and that a second “targeted the Yanbu oil facility using a ballistic missile”. He claimed both attacks were successful.

No independent confirmation, damage assessment or Saudi response was provided in the supplied details.

The claim comes amid renewed fighting involving the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. A Saudi-led coalition entered Yemen's war in 2015 in support of the government after the Houthis seized Sanaa in 2014.
